WEST BAY ACQUISITIONS LLC Filed a negative report with Experian Credit Bureau for $53. Have never been to Hollywood Video. I live in Orange County. Cranston Rhode Island
West Bay Acquisitions,LLC filed 2 negative credit reports on Experian for $53 for Hollywood Video. I have never been to Hollywood Video. I don't even live in Los Angeles and have never lived there. I have no idea where Hollywood Video is.
While the outfit lists a Boston address, its own website shows one in Moscow and its official website registration shows an address in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, but to a man with an email address in Russia.
Google reports the owner as an attorney. After doing some research on the internet, I have concluded this company is a scam trying to get you to pay a debt you never owed in the first place.

I have also dealt with this company and my advice to you would be to fight back. West Bay is owned by Bryan Dunford (North Kingstown and Cranstion, Rhode Island) who is inept and not professional. I did a background on him and he has plenty of skeletons in his closet which include but are not limited to drunk driving. He buys up the debt at bottom of the barrell pricing and then goes after people via the credit bureaus or any other avenue that HE sees fit. Unfortunately a lot of what HE sees does not correspond with the rules and regulations of the FDCPA.
How to fight back:
Send a certified letter and keep notes and receipts.
Fight anything he has filed with the credit bureau.
File a complaint against him and his company with the FTC.
Contact the Rhode Island Department of Business regulation and file a complaint there too.
Contact a consumer advocate lawyer in your state and Rhode Island and file a countersuit.
All of the information I posted here can be verified through a simple Google search and Rhode Island criminal records are a matter of public record if you need that information too. Just search "Rhode Island Judiciary" and enter his name when you get to the court records search page.
Best of luck with your situation!
